Electrical stimulation and visual therapy for arm and hand recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a device that uses gentle electrical stimulation and visual cues to help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury. It may help you regain some function in your affected limb.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a device that uses mild electrical pulses and augmented reality (a computer overlay on real life) to help people who have arm or hand weakness after a recent stroke or brain injury regain movement.
This study tests a therapy using small electrical pulses to help people who have had a stroke move their arm and hand better. It is for people who already receive Botox injections for muscle tightness and have some movement in their arm.
This trial tests if a device placed near the spinal cord can help improve movement, feeling, and pain after a stroke. It is for people who have had one stroke and have weakness on one side of the body.
This study tests a device that uses brain activity signals to trigger stroke arm therapy. It may help improve how well your upper arm and hand function by timing the training to your brain’s patterns.
This early-stage study tests whether regular, skin-based electrical stimulation can help people with paralysis or weakness regain movement. You would attend frequent clinic sessions for months, while the team checks your ability to follow instructions and your safety.
This trial tests if electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, combined with physical therapy, can improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have significant weakness in one arm.
